1. Click on the link below for a review of the elements of a fairy tale.

[|What is a fairy tale?]

2. Most traditional fairy tales are told by a narrator, who sees and knows everything but who still has a certain way of looking at things.

For example, the wolf is always “the bad guy.”

But many new versions of these stories tell the story from a

different point of view. For example, it might be told by the giant or

the pea.

3. Search online for fairy tales. Read several, then choose one you especially like. Here are a couple of links to get you started, but you don't have to limit yourself to these sites. Do your own search! [|Fairy tales by Hans Christian Anderson] [|Fairy tales, fables and nursery rhymes by assorted authors]

4. Create a new document and name it: #, name, Fairy Tale, Red (or Yellow)

5. Rewrite the fairy tale you chose, but from a different point of view. For example, the story of __The Three Little Pigs__ is traditionally told by a narrator. You could choose to tell it from the perspective of the wolf or maybe one of the piggies.

7. You should stick to the original storyline, but feel free to change the setting (i.e, set it in modern time or a different place than the original story) if you'd like. Be creative with your dialogue and descriptive of your setting.

8. Once you have rewritten your story, write a few sentences at the end about how changing the point of view changed the feeling, tone, or message of the story.

9. The story and your reflection about point of view should be at least a page and a half long.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Slide 1: Type the name of your fairy tale.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Slide 2: Write a sentence or two that explains the moral or "message" of your fairy tale. (Example: "Do unto others what you would have them do to you.")

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Slide 3: Using Google Images or another search engine, find a piece of artwork that you feel **represents** the moral of your fairy tale. This could be a photo, a drawing, even a cartoon or a painting. Click "insert", then click "image". Follow the instructions to insert the picture into your document. (Example for the above moral: You could find a picture of someone helping someone else who is injured or is having a struggle of some sort.)

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">Slide 3(continued): On same slide (if it fits), write 3-5 sentences explaining how this piece of artwork illustrates the moral of your fairy tale. If all of this will not fit on one slide, write your explanation on the next slide.

Your task now is to do some research a find a real recipe that could go along with the fairy tale you chose to rewrite. For an example, click the link below:

[|Stone Soup]

More examples: Cinderella (Pumpkin Pie) or ??? Jack and the Beanstalk (Green Bean Casserole) or ???

1. Re-read your fairy tale (the real one and the one you rewrote). Note any mention of any type of food. If your fairy tale doesn't mention food at all, you might have to get a little more creative in finding a recipe that will fit.

2. Search for a recipe that "fits" your fairy tale.

Slide 5: Insert a picture of the recipe (or of the food).

Slide 6: Write a paragraph explaining why the recipe you chose "fits" with your fairy tale.
